I am sorry, I have been caught up recently, so I am going to have to catch up a bit with posts. Since I last posted, I have been thinking, how would a woman fearing killer view women? With this in mind I did some portraits of the victims based on their photographs, warping their image in an attempt to make them creepy. Here are the pictures.
All but the last one is based on the victims. The last one is based on a magazine photo.
I chose the red as it is the theam of my work right now, being passion and blood. It also represents on the lips makeup and falsehood. I admit I was heavily inspired by Stanistar Frenkiels demonic image 'Delphi Steps' where he portrays prostitutes in a demonic manner.
I chose to paint with my fingers to make it more immediate and textural. A happy accident was made. As I did the images outside, they got soil in them, leading to even more earthy, grim images.
I am quite pleased with the results, but unsure if they tye into my current work.
